Why is it feminine?

Avocates is feminine because it's the feminine form of the noun "avocat" (lawyer). In French, many masculine nouns ending in "-at" form their feminine counterparts by adding "-e". The word derives from Latin "advocatus" (one called to aid). French grammar requires gender-marked forms for most professions, making "avocate" the feminine equivalent of the masculine "avocat".
